Chapter 91 - Trial (1/2)
Xiong Zhi woke up early. She walked through the hallway and find one of the maids.
”Did you see Mr. Zhou?”
The maid bowed.
”Mr. Zhou is in the South wing. He is preparing breakfast for Grandmaster.”
”Thank you.”
Xiong Zhi went to South wing. She needs to have a talk with her grandfather.
She arrived at the South Wing when Mr. Zhou was putting the utensils in the table.
”Good morning Mr. Zhou. How's grandfather?”
Zhou Min was a little started by the sudden visit of Xiong Zhi.
”What a pleasant morning, Young Miss. Your grandfather will have his breakfast in a few minutes. Do you want to join the table?”
”Yes, please. Kindly tell grandfather I'll join him.”
Zhou Min smiled. Even though these two Xiong's breakfast was in fact a business meeting it was still good for Old Xiong and his grandaughter to have breakfast together.
”Alright. I'll tell him.” Zhou Min left Xiong Zhi at the table and went to the Master's bedroom.
Xiong Zhi sat quitely and watch the maids add additional utensils and food.
Old Xiong was wearing a long robe when he came to the dining room.
Xiong Zhi stand up and bowed. She did her usual routine and sat.
The two Xiong ate quietly on the table.
Old Xiong finished his tea when Xiong Zhi started to open her mouth.
”Grandfather, I'd like to know if you're going to attend this year's IAmFashionista.”
Old Xiong slowly put down his tea. He gestured to Zhou Min to add more tea.
”Of course. I need to be there. Why asking?”
Xiong Zhi took a sip of her milk to gain courage.
”I'm wondering if you have another sit for me, grandfather.”
Old Xiong wait for his cup to be filled before he answered.
”A seat front that event cost a lot. Do you know how much you're asking?”
Zhou Min who was at the side could not help but turn to Old Xiong.
Xiong Zhi too stared at his grandfather.
It seems like this talk will not go smooth.
”Yes, grandfather. ”
”Then you must know that I don't give a benefit to anyone without a return.”
Xiong Zhi's eyes droop down.
She thought it was going to be easy. Like a granddaughter asking her grandfather to bring her to an event.
Zhou Min thought this as well.
Old Xiong was a very critic businessmen. But he would not be this strict with his granddaughter. Unless he saw Xiong Zhi not only as a granddaughter but as a person who would join battlefields in business industry in the future. In short, he was seeing her as his heir.
Xiong Zhi doesn't have to really ask Old Xiong for a seat. IHZHI gained a seat already, specifically it is a VIP one. But she doesn't want to play that way. So for now she would play in his grandfather's means.
”What can I do for you, grandfather?”
Old Xiong reached for his tea. He smelled it, took a sip from it and savor its taste.
”I'm not checking your company. So I don't know how is it going. Since it has been only a few months, I understand it is probably withstanding some trials on it's own. And I would like to add to that problems. Are you willing?”
